The men’s final is scheduled to be replayed on Sept. 26 in Santa Barbara, prior to the start of the AVP Tour event there. The women’s final cannot be replayed at a later event because April Ross is reportedly playing with Kerri Walsh Jennings (Saratoga, Calif.) for the rest of the season.

Kessy and Ross advanced to the finals in St. Petersburg by defeating Lauren Fendrick (Carlsbad, Calif.) and Brittany Hochevar (Fowler, Colo.) in the semifinals, 21-17, 19-21, 15-10 in 1 hour, 14 minutes; the longest match of the winners’ bracket.
